The primary framework of the PENTACON collaboration is based on a series of interlocked cores organized around the main focus areas. Each core has a designated leader (in bold below) who is responsible for co-coordinating the efforts of core members and monitoring the interaction of that core with others in the PENTACON consortium. An alphabetical list of all of the investigators is also available.
